ZEISS CONTURA

Features

Outstanding scanning technology, ZEISS CALYPSO reference software and a highly tuned overall concept enable ZEISS CONTURA to cement its place as the standard in its class.

Convenient control

The system is controlled via a userfriendly control panel and does not need a computer. The progressive joystick enables easier and more precise control of all axis movements. The speed can be regulated in CNC mode.

Computer-Aided Accuracy (CAA)

The bridge is subjected to dynamic forces that can affect accuracy, particularly while scanning. ZEISS CONTURA calculates the compensation for such inertia effects. This ensures that the required precision remains intact even at high measuring speeds.

Robust and precise

Depending on the configuration, ceramic or CARAT guideways are used on ZEISS CONTURA for high rigidity, low thermal expansion and minimal moving weights. Air bearings in all three axes ensure consistent stability even at high travel speeds and acceleration.

The floating glass ceramic scales on ZEISS CONTURA are practically expansion free and therefore do not require any additional temperature sensors or mathematical compensation. They are suitable for the shop floor and are protected against contamination and other influences.

Direct

The direct sensor model is ideal for the measurement of small parts with perpendicular geometries without inclined features. Equipped with the ZEISS VAST XXT scanning sensor, ZEISS CONTURA direct provides a particularly affordable means of entering the world of scanning technology from ZEISS for production and progress inspection of single processing stages.

Active

ZEISS CONTURA active comes standard with navigator technology for fast scanning in one smooth run. It can be operated with the VAST XTR gold or VAST XT gold active scanning probes from ZEISS for the measurements of deep and offset features with high throughput rates.

Options

HTG (High Temperature Gradient) for a larger temperature range (18-26°C) with the same measuring uncertainty. Features temperature sensors for the workpiece.
